The Pro Bowl wideout is staying in the NFC West.

If San Francisco 49ers fans thought they were getting rid of Cooper Kupp, think again.

The Pro Bowl wide receiver is staying in the NFC West, instead going to play for the Seattle Seahawks on a three-year, $45 million deal.

Kupp is a Yakima, Washington native and attended Eastern Washington, so he’ll be playing for his hometown team, which seemingly played a factor in his decision.

The 31-year-old wideout...
